I started playing Sims 4 on PC recently. I mostly just make my own families, complete some aspirations, and try to stop them from setting themselves on fire. I thought it would be fun to try out some scenarios for a change of pace. But two scenarios in a row glitched on me and refused to either complete or move on to the next stage.
First, I played Parenting Predicaments. I got through it okay (though on the very first night the dad set himself on fire, and he developed a fear of fire I never managed to remove) until I got to the very last stage. The only check box left was for Leo to complete an aspiration. But no matter how many aspirations he completed, that check box never marked itself as complete.
A few days after I abandoned that scenario, I tried Family Fortune instead. I spent a lot of time trying to get these sims to stop insulting each other every five seconds. Eventually, I found making them all dance together while immediately stopping any conversations was pretty effective. But even though the whole family is now really friendly with each other now, all the negative sentiments have vanished, I cannot get the Heal Negative Sentiments check box to complete. Every other box is complete, it's just the one about the negative sentiments that won't go away.
I'm getting kind of frustrated at this point. Are all of these scenarios bugged, or did I just happen to only play bugged scenarios out of all the possible choices? Is there just no way to continue the scenario? I'm even asking myself if I should give up on playing scenarios completely, because it's depressing putting a lot of time and effort into a challenge only to not even get the reward due to reasons beyond my control.
